On December 12th, 2005, at the age of16 Cammie was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer. For 3.5 months, she underwent a rigorous chemotherapy regime that included daily chemo therapy for 1 week on and high school angst and bullying for 2 weeks which repeated for 3 months until she was declared NED (no evidence of disease) on March 13th, 2006. Post ovarian cancer, Cammie spent ages 17-29 in severe chronic pain. After 3 years of medical gaslighting fueled by anti-Blackness, she finally received an endometriosis diagnosis. Throughout this time period, she had 7 surgeries to attempt to remove reoccurring benign cysts and endometriosis cells. Finally, at the age of 29 a doctor asked her to consider my fertility and gave her permission to truly consider what she wanted. She then made the decision, fairly easily, to have a hysterectomy and while that surgery vastly improved her quality of life pain wise, Cammie was suddenly thrusted into menopause.
Quite literally before the age of 30, Cammie's libido and sex drive went to shit, not to mention the weight gain and hot flashes. At 31, she began applying the science of behavior analysis, mindfulness, and sex therapy to herself, starting with masturbation, to cultivate a kind of pleasure that she had never known before. This intentional self-aim of noticing and creating a pleasure practice, both sexual and non-sexual alike, she noticed, increased her own personal self regard and self-love. This birthed Becoming Unfckwithable, where behavioral science meetings radical defiance starting with one pleasure practice at a time.
